We had the same problem. We had it mounted to the back license plate. We emailed the company and they sent a new one. The issue is the camera is not sealed for protection from the weather. We installed the newer one inside the vehicle (above our lift gate). It doesn't work as well; but it does work because it is away from the weather. Would not have purchased again. We would have bought a better brand model that was "sealed".

That has not happened to me. In wet weather I do wipe off the lenssurface before driving. The foggy picture has always cleared.

couldn't even get 2 different units to work at all !!!! We tried 1 and sent it back and amazon sent us another one and we couldn't get it to work either. We just gave up on it. Glen C., Tampa, Fla.

If there is condensation inside the lens there is a crack in the lens cover or a bad seal. I have not had any problems at all. The picture is clear and bright. You do have to keep the lens clean. Even works perfectly at night.

Maybe it's fouled on the outside. It's easy enough to take off and check. Mine has been working A+ in Florida weather since I got it about a year ago.

The unit I received failed immediately after installation was completed. I returned it for a full refund and would suggest you do the same if you can.

Hi Christine, There is a ring on the top of the lens, you have to remove it to place the Hood. Best Juan

They're supposedly outdoor, but when I mounted one in a spot where rain was hitting it directly, the sensor filled with water. Since the lens was obscured, it was no longer able to sense motion. I've since then returned it for a replacement, and mounted it under an eave, where it gets indirect spray. I've had it there a few months, and no problems anymore.

I think you have the camera upside down. there are two different screws on the camera itself.the camera has to have the shield up so that when it rains it bounces off there's a screw on top

That's the camera's issue. They sometimes have technical difficulties like that, and they will repair themselves most of the time if you turn it off and let it sit for a little. If it doesn't fix itself try taking it into a camera store that knows about film cameras and they'll help ya!

Hello, Thank you for your support. For this issue,it depend on the if the license license plate numbers/letters palce to the ip camera and the weather condition, plate numbers/letters is in the right place to the camera and the Weather is in good condition, it can clear enough to see it.otherwise.it maybe can't Thank you very much.

This particular camera cost me more to install than to buy and the condensation was a huge issue. I have since covered every area I could with a thick layer of clear silicone and it seems to be just dandy. If I had it to do over again - I would go with a higher end to justify the install. However - I do love that when I put my truck in reverse, that camera comes on and I can see the whole span of land / cars / ground all of it behind me. A back up camera is a practical and smart purchase, it will help to avoid accidents!

The camera is attached to the top of your rear license plate. The monitor mounts wherever you want.

Not sure what you mean? The camera fits right above above the rear license.

The field of view is normal as any other video camera. I have the camera mounted pretty much in the middle of the windshield, just below the rear view mirror. The field of view picks up everything I need to see.

The camera has a short wire to a transmitter and the monitor is connected to a receiver. Thus, there is no wires to run the length of the car, which would have to be routed and hidden.

I bought a wired camera that attaches over the licence plate. Had a car audio shop install both GPS and camera as they know tricks to run wires.

yep.... check your contacts on camera mount, also on lens- clean with rubbing alcohol. Also, naturally, make sure lens is securely and completley mounted. Failing that, you'll have to send it in as it would seem you have a bad copy.

There is a small spot sticker on the outside of the camera lens. It covers the camera lens only. If your rear camera appears hazy or unclear, try peeling off this sticker with your fingernail.

I've got the opposite problem. I placed mine in the rear, but the image is NOT reversed. Wish I could trade cameras. I didn't notice this until it was installed in my rear bumper.

It may be focusing on the attached glass make sure its clean and make sure tour camera is in auto mode other than that I have no idea I don't ever remember owning one

My camera has an obstructed lens, half of the picture is missing. I do not use it.
